@@DawnMarieX True Romance 1993 is also good, lot big name actors, its Tarantino script that he sold to get money for this movie , then there is Natural Born Killers 1994 , Oliver Stone directed Tarantino scrip .
I would say "Jackie Brown" is Tarantino's most strait forward main-stream movie, but it is still Tarantino with its clever dialogue, different storylines, interesting characters. "Pulp Fiction" would be next in movie release order, but "Jackie Brown" may be the best next step. Glad you are enjoying it Dawn, I would have thought it may be too "boy movie" for you!
Quentin wrote this and True Romance before his big break. Ridley Scott's brother Tony (Top Gun) wanted to make this, but Quentin also wanted this, so sold him the script to True Romance (which has EVERYONE in it). So yeah... you should do True Romance as well. Welcome to the world !

Steve Buscemi (Mr. Pink) was a NYFD fire fighter before he became an actor and went down to ground zero after 9/11 to help with the search and rescue efforts. He is a brilliant actor you need to see more of especially Fargo and the HBO series Boardwalk Empire.
Mr. Blue was played by Eddie Bunker. He was an ex-con who reformed his life by becoming a crime novelist-some of them have been adapted into fims-and actor, as well as an adviser on multiple crime films.
According to IMDB, "The title refers to a customer whom Tarantino served while working as a video shop assistant. When Tarantino suggested hiring a French film 'Au Revoir les Enfants' (1987), the customer apparently replied, 'I don’t want no Reservoir Dogs!' The director decided this would be a good title for his script".
Mr Orange is revealed in the Diner scene to be the rat because he instantly tells Joe that Mr Pink didn’t tip, hence Joe at the end, reflecting that he should have his head examined because he should have caught it!
Oh duh! I don't even know how many times I've seen this and missed that! I thought the first giveaway was "'why'd you tell him your name?' - "He asked me"
Everybody's character is revealed there. Blonde quickly asking if he could shoot White. Pink being a coward when Joe tells him to put in a buck for the tip.
The look on your face when everyone got shot was a delight to see Dawn. You really are in for quite a few more treats and surprises as you delve into the Tarantino collection. Great reaction Dawn and now we know why your always touching your ear.
Can you believe that this is Tarantino's FIRST movie?!?!?! It's so good at building the story and building the tension. Every time I see a young reactor doing it, I appreciate the movie more. I knew it was good when I saw it when it first came out, but seeing it now I'm even more impressed by his skill as a director.
The bald old man also played Elaine's dad in Seinfeld. They don't make old men like that anymore. That episode with him waiting in the lobby with George and Jerry is still one of the funniest things ever!
The actor is Laurence Tierney. He was in many B movie film noirs , the type of films that Tarantino loves. His most famous role was playing John Dillinger in a gritty nasty movie called Dillinger. Tarantino loved the movie and it gave him a chance to have one his movie idols in one of his films. Just like he did with Pam Grier and Robert Forester. Too bad he never had a chance to work with his 2 favorite crime Movie actors, Robert Mitchum and Sterling Haydon
@chardtomp Seinfeld said he stole a butcher knife from the set, and when they asked Tierney about it, he pretended to stab him while making the Psycho noises. Tarantino was also driven crazy by him. He said you can see him break character as Mr. Brown in the final shot of the opening scene because it was the FINALLY the take Tierney said all his lines in the right order.
My mother lost a finger when she was in high school. As my brother and I were growing up, it was frequently used as a cautionary tale: "Don't put your hand near the garbage disposal, "don't run with scissors," "don't taunt the cat"... Eventually we caught on that she couldn't have lost her finger ALL of those different ways.
@@Tismdylan at work, she had to climb a set of shelves to sort clothes. One day, after putting a shirt on the top shelf, she jumped down. While wearing a ring.
Nerdy guy doesn’t begin to cover it. He was a full on film nerd by the time he was 6. He was reading Cahiers du Cinema in his teens. He went to work at a cinephile video store that expected employees to be conversant in film. He didn’t go to work at a blockbuster. He was already writing and making short films. All of this is to say he didn’t one day step from video store clerk anonymity into the director’s limelight. He was consciously developing his talent from a young age. The main reason he went to work at this particular video store was to have access to harder to find movies.
Everyone died btw. Mr. Pink died when he went outside, got shot up by the cops. You could hear it in the background. This is one of my favorites from Quentin Tarantino. Kill Bill Vol 2 is my personal favorite.
@Ray-ko1lm You can hear shots but that doesn't mean they hit Pink or killed him. Pulp Fiction shows that firing at someone doesn't equal death i.e. "it was a miracle".
The competing theory is that Mr. Pink did not die, but either blasted his way out again or got captured. But much like the theory about the end of the Sopranos, it can forever be left in the "cannot confirm or deny" realm.
Dawn, you can’t skip watching Four Rooms- it’s a movie with four scenes with four different directors, but one of them is Tarrentino. And it’s effing hilarious, starring Tim Roth (Mr Orange). You wouldn’t want to miss it, well worth the watch. Cheers…
About ten years ago I was eating at a restaurant when the Taviani brothers, two very well-known directors and winners of important awards in Berlin and Cannes, entered. I took courage and as soon as they finished their orders I approached them introducing myself as a cinema enthusiast and I was lucky enough to talk to them for 5/6 minutes. I told him that I was a profound admirer of John Ford and one of them looked at me and said to me.... Look, John Ford was our greatest master in cinema. Subsequently I asked them which Tarantino film was their favorite and they replied "Le iene" which is none other than the title translated into Italian of Reservoir dogs. This very important opinion confirmed to me that this is a film of great originality and quality.
This is one of those movies that law students-especially those in the middle of criminal law-absolutely love watching. They can sit there and check off each element of every crime as they happen.
Dawn... I can not BEGIN to tell you how excited I am that yer on this Quentin journey. In addition to yer usual content, now you add his stuff, wow! Can't wait!!!
I'm glad you've started your Tarantino journey , your gonna love Jackie Brown. I wanna see what you make of Kill Bill. You have to do Dusk till Dawn as well but please don't look anything up on it , its best to go in blind to that one. Luv ya you crazy scottish lady 😁
@@DawnMarieXChris Penn has a very cute role in the original Footloose if you haven’t seen it. Could be a good palate cleanser after seeing him in Pale Rider.
I can never hear Stuck in the Middle With You by Stealers Wheel without thinking of this movie. When I first watched this movie, it was on a small 19” television with a bad speaker. So for years I thought that Pink was the only one that got away because I couldn’t hear the background noise of him being gunned down by the cops before they bust in.
True, for sure it's one of the best examples that you don't need big budgets, tones of CGI and FX, as long as you have a great script, great dialogue and actors that can deliver. Another example of an early masterpiece with low budget for me is "Memento". It's sad that there are not more movies like this. I'm sure there are still a lot of creative and talented filmmakers out there, that just never get a chance, because "the industry" don't take risks and pump all their money in sequels, franchises, remakes and reboots.
Hey Dawn I found your account a few days ago and I must say you're the best and funniest reactor I've seen so far. Keep doing what you're doing. And please react to more Tarantino. Love from Croatia. 🇭🇷
Hey Dawn, I love how this movie could have been a play. ------ It executes the technique you were talking about where the camera acts as a third person in the room. ---- It mostly takes place in a single room and it's really 90% conversation between 2 or 3 characters. ------- It puts the dialogue at the Forefront and the dialogue is Simply Amazing. Kudos to Mr Tarantino. The stuff of legends.
Dawn your face when the scene switches from the breakfast talk to the bloody backseat was priceless face #1. ------- When Mr. Blonde gets shot by Mr. Orange, I swear your mouth almost hit the mic, you were so shocked it was priceless face #2. Great reaction.
Mr. Pink (Steve Buscemi) also played the crime boss in the Boardwalk Empire series, a fantastic show set in Atlantic City at the start of Prohibition in the United States (1920s).
With the Madonna reference, Nice Guy Eddie was played by Chris Penn. His brother, Sean Penn, was married to Madonna between 1985 & 1989. Chris sadly passed away in 2006.
RE: Tarantino-as-Filmmaker ; Yes, this is his first movie, but *No,* not his first script. He also famously sold 2 scripts *After* Reservoir Dogs which also made it big("True Romance" and "Natural Born Killers"), but his own films all have his signature touches . Highly stylized, very well anchored in the Setting, pop music for soundtracks from many different genres, and sometimes philosophical dialogues between as many or as few of the cast as the scene needs: these are all key features of his films which will appear time after time. He's also quite fond of adaptation of the works of other people, and a deep dive into "Reservoir Dogs" will reveal it is practically a reboot of a foreign film. There's no shame in that, of course, and the same is true for "Magnificent Seven" or "A Fistful of Dollars". Tarantino is Italian by descent, and that heavily influenced his sense of how to make an entertaining film. And it is about half the reason why he became a strong advocate for lower budget films of a "B-Movie" class, the sort of films that would be shown as double features in cheap film theaters or a drive-in movie. See also: "Grindhouse". And if I had to compare Tarantino to an American director with respect to on-screen violence, it would probably be Sam Peckinpaw. Tarantino isn't afraid to show gore and explicit violence, but he's also a master at *Not* showing it (as Reservoir Dogs can prove) and letting your head do the rest. Peckinpaw is different because he uses slow-motion during the "high action" sequences, but Tarantino messes with Time by normally telling his stories "Out of Order" (like in Reservoir Dogs) or by Chapters (which he starts doing after Kill Bill).
Apparently I am one of the few people in the world who saw _Reservoir dogs_ before _Pulp fiction_ came out. The thing that arrested me about the movie is that the writer has no tenderness for the characters: Orange, who is - if anyone is - the hero, is bleeding out in the back of a car before we know what's happening; the citizen who shoots him is instantly killed by him; the cop who Orange saves by shooting Blonde is almost immediately shot and killed by Nice Guy Eddie. The plot is everything, and all the characters are sacrificed to it.
Hey, I’m another one of those people! Nice to meet you. Like me, you probably also remember the days before _Pulp Fiction,_ when mentioning Tarantino would mostly just result in receiving a blank or confused look.
"one of the few people in the world" I saw it in theater. A lot of people did....just not a lot by mainstream standards....sold 650,000 tickets here in the US and did well on video as well. It was also wildly popular in the UK on release....$13 million in box office (around 3 million tickets)....nearly 5 times the US box office.
Same here, and I remember when I bought it, I was pleased as punch to discover that the Steven Wright radio DJ bits were included. He’s just so upbeat and expressive.
It's funny - I was sick as hell and at the time in the late 90's and my GF at the time rented this for me and had no idea. Took the day off of work in high tech. I think it cured me it was so intense and diabolical! She is no longer but the movie was awesome!
We all have our off days, and our hot ones. I nailed the twist in The Sixth Sense about an hour in - for which i was rightly proud of myself - but a lot of movies just suck me in and blindside me.
Great description for Tarantino… madness that is cool and controlled. Best description of his writing and movies. He is great at given you the familiar…. Characters, plots, stories… and then making them all a bit off and not expected yet you feel like you know these people. Great reaction
Here's a quick list of all Tarantino's major films for reference: 1992 Reservoir Dogs 1994 True Romance (writer, not director) 1994 Pulp Fiction 1997 Jackie Brown 2003 Kill Bill: Volume 1 2004 Kill Bill: Volume 2 2007 Death Proof 2009 Inglourious Basterds 2012 Django Unchained 2015 The Hateful Eight 2019 Once Upon a Time in Hollywood I've seen them all (except Death Proof) and they are all fantastic in their own ways
Death Proof is good, some really great stuntwork in it, but seeing that and Planet Terror together as a sort of homage to "grindhouse" B-grade cinema was the intention (fake movie trailers and all, some of which did get turned into actual movies later). Both are worth watching at least one time.
Always exciting watching someone discovering Tarantino movies for the first time. Its such an incredible cinematic journey you are starting out on. Having watched all of them many times, I'm a little jealous for the trip your about to take. Ps- its a straight razor that Mr. Blonde used on Officer Nash.
Mr. Tarantino's "style" is, he drops you right into the middle of the action, and then goes back later to explain things. When you do "Pulp Fiction" you will see a similar scenario, but different, you know? The radio DJ who introduces "Stuck In The Middle With You" is Comedian Steven Wright. Steve Buscemi, Mr. Pink, is in a couple of great movies, "Pulp Fiction", along with Tim Roth, Mr. Orange, as a waiter, and "Fargo", where he is again a bad guy. Michael Madsen, Mr. Blonde, is in another Quentin Tarantino movie, actually two, "Kill Bill Parts 1 & 2". Chris Penn, Eddie, was in the Clint Eastwood movie "Pale Rider". And lastly, Harvey Keitel is in the classic "Taxi Driver" as a pimp named Sport.
The comment about how the actors did not play to the camera is some of the most insightful observations about movies that I have ever heard from a TH-camr or mainstream film critic.
So long since I saw this one, but I do remember that I loved it. The chill dialogue, the no-bars hold brutality, and the tension and everything. A really great movie.
For thirty-two years now I can't hear 'Stuck in the Middle With You' without also remembering the ear scene, definitely keep going into Quentin T's movies there are some really great films in there
Mr Blue was played by Eddie Bunker, he was a criminal who then turned his life around and became a crime writer. Quentin was a fan of his books and they partly inspired the film, in particular a book called Little Boy Blue, hence the name Mr. Blue.
The guy who played Mr. Blue (Eddie Bunker) is (was) a real criminal -- and spent many years in prison. He wrote a really EXCELLENT movie that you should DEFINITELY react to: Straight Time (1978), starring Dustin Hoffman as a low-life criminal.
Hey Dawn, Mr. Blonde is # 1 in my book. Mr. Pink is a close second. Mr White is 3rd and Mr. Orange is #4 favorite in the movie. -------- Just for his gumshoe to be an undercover beast. --------- Honorable mention to Mr. Purple.
The cafe at the beginning still looks nearly identical. It’s in LA - I went there last year. My coffee was only filled three times, but I still tipped.
I'd call that "chilled madness" you're describing "tension" and Tarantino is an absolute master of it, you'll definitely get to see a lot more of that! Glad you liked it and cant wait for your reactions on the other movies.
Brilliant movie, saw it when it came out, havn''t been able to hear "stuck in the middle" without doing that dance since.. even my kid will do it, even in public.. which isn't bad for a shy kid with anxiety.
“He’s talking too much and no one’s asking” You mean they’re listening to his story? 😂 Chill madness is a good descriptor. For all of Tarantino’s movies in general, honestly. But also regular madness. Blue had lines. Just in the diner and I think the plan meeting, but yeah, pretty much nothing else White did shoot Orange, that’s why the cops shot him. I’d think they would just arrest him if he didn’t
9:40 -- RE: *Is He From Free Willy?* ; A: *YES,* well done. Michael Madsen landed relatively few large film roles when he pursued his career in Hollywood. See also "Species" (1995). *But* lucky for him, Tarantino never forgets a good character actor, either, so he infrequently appears in other Tarantino films after 2005. Harvey Keitel also got a lot of work with Tarantino after this film, but he was certainly a large part of why it was a success, and he was one of its producers.
One of my favourite Tarantino movies, and a favourite overall. Brilliant writing, a stacked cast, and an amazing soundtrack. Also, it's very cool how easily it could be adapted into a stage play. Cheers and Happy Weekend Dawn, from across The Pond.🥃☮❤
Reservoir Dogs is still my fave Quentin Tarantino film. When it came out at the cinema, there was a lot of fuss about it being banned to video, so it stayed at the cinema for over a year. I got hold of a good quality VHS video of it and went around lots of people's houses to watch it. I've seen it over two dozen times. The film feels like an old friend.
The lady who shot Orange was his dialect coach because he has a hard English accent like u. He said later, he liked shooting her! Nice Guy was in rush hour 1, Early 80s movies Wild Life and Footloose and he's Sean Penn's brother!
You popped up on my TH-cam wall about 2 weeks ago and you've become my favorite movie reactor. I love you analysis and your overall energy. I'm old enough to be your dad but you are a beautiful young lady. Also, I didn't see one thing wrong with your ear. Tarantino's movies are all great in their own way. He also uses many of the same actors in his movies. I can't wait to see more. Thank you!
Scariest undercover movie I ever saw was Rush with Jason Patric and Jennifer Jason Leigh back in 1991. Thanks for reacting to this Dawn, you’re awesome.😎
I love the commode story within the commode story, when the cop on Mr Orange's story is also telling his rehearsed story. And you can tell how bad he is at it.
There's a couple of deleted scenes and in one of them you find out that Mr. White's real name is Lawrence Dimmick and he's *not* a good guy. He's old school, so there's an older fashioned sense of honor, but that doesn't make him a crook with a heart of gold. Mr. Blue was the old guy with the cigar at the diner table who said he liked "Borderline" by Madonna. His real name was Eddie Bunker and he was a real criminal for decades before turning to writing and acting. He was a consultant on the film as well and he told Tarantino that he never worked a job with that many guys on a crew because it always led to trouble. The shootout at the end is confusing because there was a squib malfunction. They didn't have time to reshoot it so people think Mr. Pink must have shot one of them but he didn't. They had to leave in the mistake. Mr. Blonde's blade is called a "straight razor." And there was no Lee Marvin hate; they talked about how much they liked him.
He also is associated with other movies, before he got big, or he did some writing for. True Romance is fantastic, then Death proof, desperado, dusk til Dawn, even a couple tv episodes of Alias!
"What happened between peacefully having their coffee & tea and talking about Madonna songs and one of them's about to die?" Ah, therein lies the tale :) Great reaction Miss Dawn!
Excellent reaction. Maybe the most entertaining I’ve ever seen. Just watching your reaction to how the scenes unfolded were so great. Here’s QT’s directing filmography in order… -Reservoir Dogs -Pulp Fiction -Jackie Brown -Kill Bill volume 1 -Kill Bill volume 2 -Death Proof -Inglorious Basterds -Django Unchained -The Hateful Eight -Once Upon a Time in Hollywood I’d love to see your reaction to each one👍🏼
The old guy, Mr Blue, was actually played by a former armed robber, which is why he doesn't appear much, because he wasn't allowed to carry even a prop gun. Also when the cop says "I have a family" during the torture scene, that line wasn't scripted. You can hear Mr Blonde saying "Oh no no no" off screen. That was Michael Madsen's reaction to the line, as he'd just become a dad and it was a bit too much for him.
23:42 It makes sense that Mr. Orange was shot by a civilian since he was a cop himself (the other LA police members were told beforehand that he was undercover). I think it’s a good way to see how he was shot here after he was revealed to be a cop himself!
Tarantino has style like no other. Don't miss True Romance and Jackie Brown, as they're two of the best, but much underrated. You ought to watch Natural Born Killers too. The cop in it is called Scagnetti - also mentioned in Reservoir Dogs. There are a lot of little details which cross over between Tarantino's films.
For a FANTASTIC underground cop movie, check out Donnie Brasco (1997) starring absolute giants like Al Pacino and Johnny Depp, and funnily enough Michael Madsen from this movie (playing Mr. Blonde). You'll love it. :)
When he was 17 Eddie Bunker (Mr. Blue) was the youngest person ever in San Quentin at the time. He went on to write a lot of crime fiction and screen plays after spending the beginning of his life in and out of prison, boys homes and work camps. Tarantino got the money to make this after writing the script for True Romance, which should be your next one.
Here's his films in order (not all directed by him but written by): Reservoir Dogs True Romance Pulp Fiction Natural Born Killers From Dusk Till Dawn Jackie Brown Kill Bill: Vol 1 & 2 Death Proof (plus Planet Terror as they go hand in hand) Inglorious Basterds Django Unchained The Hateful Eight Once Upon a Time in Hollywood
Wonderful review as usual. You may recognise Chris Penn from Pale Rider. Lawrence Tierney (Joe) often played a heavy in the old “Film Noir” films back in the 40s and 50s. The thing about him was, in real life, he really was a bad ass. Now the film you really need to see (co-written by Tarantino) called “True Romance” -1993
The first Tarantino masterpiece. Also, that was a good take on the feel. In most movies the characters are put in situations to create an outcome, where in Tarantino movies it is a situation unfolding and the viewer is allowed to drop in and watch how it unfolds.
It was Pink who shot Eddie and caused the chain reaction. When Pink climbs out from beneath the ramp he's holding his gun. He didn't have his gun out before. Plus no one was pointing at Eddie,but he has a bullet hole in his right side.
Ah, yes... this movie... I love reactions to this, pure shock after intro and the all the revealing later. You can see how Tarantino was revolutionary at the time, he doesn't tell the story, but in a way he does. And those dialogs, cracks me up to this day.
Great outro!!! I couldn't agree more that it doesnt feel like a movie and really love the way you explained the cameras just being there to capture all the drama going on, Im paraphrasing. Must watch movies based on your explanations of the types of movies you like: True Romance Pulp Fiction ...and I think Kill Bill I & II would he up your alley as well, but a little different than RD, TR, and PF IMO. However, it definitely has QT written all over it. P.S. If you haven't seen "Memento", I think you would like it as well.

Imagine becoming a cinematic icon right out the gate with your FIRST film. Some people just luck out with talent, I suppose!
Madness!
@@DawnMarieXabsolutely!
Tarantino is such a Cinderella story. Nerdy guy that works at a video store become one of the most celebrated directors of all time.
Nerdy guy doesn’t begin to cover it. He was a full on film nerd by the time he was 6. He was reading Cahiers du Cinema in his teens. He went to work at a cinephile video store that expected employees to be conversant in film. He didn’t go to work at a blockbuster. He was already writing and making short films.
All of this is to say he didn’t one day step from video store clerk anonymity into the director’s limelight. He was consciously developing his talent from a young age.
The main reason he went to work at this particular video store was to have access to harder to find movies.
It's a copy.
Everyone died btw. Mr. Pink died when he went outside, got shot up by the cops. You could hear it in the background. This is one of my favorites from Quentin Tarantino. Kill Bill Vol 2 is my personal favorite.
@Ray-ko1lm You can hear shots but that doesn't mean they hit Pink or killed him. Pulp Fiction shows that firing at someone doesn't equal death i.e. "it was a miracle".
The competing theory is that Mr. Pink did not die, but either blasted his way out again or got captured.
But much like the theory about the end of the Sopranos, it can forever be left in the "cannot confirm or deny" realm.
Steve Buscemi' himself once commented that he liked the theory that the Buddy Holly waiter in pulp fiction IS Mr. Pink laying low.
There's no proof since gunshot s continue to go off in the backround...no body no proof.
Dawn, you can’t skip watching Four Rooms- it’s a movie with four scenes with four different directors, but one of them is Tarrentino. And it’s effing hilarious, starring Tim Roth (Mr Orange). You wouldn’t want to miss it, well worth the watch.
Cheers…
Oh interesting! Thanks you 😁
Yes it's so good and nobody talks about it!
Noooooooo misbehaving!
I watch Four Rooms every New Year’s Eve. It’s just that good.
When I got a job as the night guy at a small hotel, I was told to watch Four Rooms and consider it training.
Underrated gem.
About ten years ago I was eating at a restaurant when the Taviani brothers, two very well-known directors and winners of important awards in Berlin and Cannes, entered. I took courage and as soon as they finished their orders I approached them introducing myself as a cinema enthusiast and I was lucky enough to talk to them for 5/6 minutes. I told him that I was a profound admirer of John Ford and one of them looked at me and said to me.... Look, John Ford was our greatest master in cinema. Subsequently I asked them which Tarantino film was their favorite and they replied "Le iene" which is none other than the title translated into Italian of Reservoir dogs. This very important opinion confirmed to me that this is a film of great originality and quality.
This is one of those movies that law students-especially those in the middle of criminal law-absolutely love watching. They can sit there and check off each element of every crime as they happen.
Dawn... I can not BEGIN to tell you how excited I am that yer on this Quentin journey. In addition to yer usual content, now you add his stuff, wow! Can't wait!!!
I'm glad you've started your Tarantino journey , your gonna love Jackie Brown. I wanna see what you make of Kill Bill. You have to do Dusk till Dawn as well but please don't look anything up on it , its best to go in blind to that one. Luv ya you crazy scottish lady 😁
I don't look anything up before any movie so we're all good! 🥰
Dawn, you saw Chris Penn in Clint Eastwood's Pale Rider, he was the one who tried to SA the girl at the mining place. Sean Penn's Brother.
Yeah I'm surprised I didn't recognise him!
@@DawnMarieXChris Penn has a very cute role in the original Footloose if you haven’t seen it. Could be a good palate cleanser after seeing him in Pale Rider.
@@DawnMarieX He looks quite a bit different here, even though it's only seven years after Pale Rider.
I can never hear Stuck in the Middle With You by Stealers Wheel without thinking of this movie.
When I first watched this movie, it was on a small 19” television with a bad speaker. So for years I thought that Pink was the only one that got away because I couldn’t hear the background noise of him being gunned down by the cops before they bust in.
"Chilled madness" is absolutely perfect. Best analogy ever 👏👏👏
"Reservoir Dogs" is the most underrated low-budget masterpiece in Hollywood history ever. 💯
True, for sure it's one of the best examples that you don't need big budgets, tones of CGI and FX, as long as you have a great script, great dialogue and actors that can deliver.
Another example of an early masterpiece with low budget for me is "Memento". It's sad that there are not more movies like this. I'm sure there are still a lot of creative and talented filmmakers out there, that just never get a chance, because "the industry" don't take risks and pump all their money in sequels, franchises, remakes and reboots.
It’s incredibly well regarded though🤷♂️
Wouldn’t call it underrated lol
low budget vs. entertainment, Clerks is probably at the top.
@@Smoothjazzsundays No, you are absolutely right: "Reservoir Dogs" is constantly mentioned in all "top 100 movies"-lists of all time. 🤡
Hey Dawn I found your account a few days ago and I must say you're the best and funniest reactor I've seen so far. Keep doing what you're doing. And please react to more Tarantino. Love from Croatia. 🇭🇷
Aww thank you so much for being here! ❤
Hey Dawn, I love how this movie could have been a play. ------ It executes the technique you were talking about where the camera acts as a third person in the room. ---- It mostly takes place in a single room and it's really 90% conversation between 2 or 3 characters. ------- It puts the dialogue at the Forefront and the dialogue is Simply Amazing. Kudos to Mr Tarantino. The stuff of legends.
Dawn your face when the scene switches from the breakfast talk to the bloody backseat was priceless face #1. ------- When Mr. Blonde gets shot by Mr. Orange, I swear your mouth almost hit the mic, you were so shocked it was priceless face #2. Great reaction.
I love Tarantino films. Pulp Fiction and the Kill Bills are my favourite he directed. From Dusk Till Dawn is great too, but he was just the writer.
My favorites too, with Death Proof. Maybe Once Upon a Time in Hollywood also. The rest are just o.k.
I don't think Tarantino has ever made a bad film, but I agree those two are his best. Those are the two that were truly brilliant.
The song "Fool for Love" by Sandy Rogers was originally written for her brother's 1985 film, which itself is worth a watch. 🙂
Mr. Pink (Steve Buscemi) also played the crime boss in the Boardwalk Empire series, a fantastic show set in Atlantic City at the start of Prohibition in the United States (1920s).
I swear I thought he just did Adam Sandler movies 🤣
@@DawnMarieXSteve Buscemi was on The Dude’s bowing teams in
“The Big Lebowski”
Remember John Goodman telling Donny to shut up.
Boardwalk Empire is such a great show Steve is great in it. He was good in The Sopranos also.
Steve Buscemi was one of the kidnappers in FARGO. He's a very good actor. 'Been good in a ton of things.
"A relaxing holy crap" is the best one-liner for this film😄👏
With the Madonna reference, Nice Guy Eddie was played by Chris Penn. His brother, Sean Penn, was married to Madonna between 1985 & 1989. Chris sadly passed away in 2006.
RE: Tarantino-as-Filmmaker ; Yes, this is his first movie, but *No,* not his first script. He also famously sold 2 scripts *After* Reservoir Dogs which also made it big("True Romance" and "Natural Born Killers"), but his own films all have his signature touches . Highly stylized, very well anchored in the Setting, pop music for soundtracks from many different genres, and sometimes philosophical dialogues between as many or as few of the cast as the scene needs: these are all key features of his films which will appear time after time. He's also quite fond of adaptation of the works of other people, and a deep dive into "Reservoir Dogs" will reveal it is practically a reboot of a foreign film. There's no shame in that, of course, and the same is true for "Magnificent Seven" or "A Fistful of Dollars".
Tarantino is Italian by descent, and that heavily influenced his sense of how to make an entertaining film. And it is about half the reason why he became a strong advocate for lower budget films of a "B-Movie" class, the sort of films that would be shown as double features in cheap film theaters or a drive-in movie. See also: "Grindhouse".
And if I had to compare Tarantino to an American director with respect to on-screen violence, it would probably be Sam Peckinpaw. Tarantino isn't afraid to show gore and explicit violence, but he's also a master at *Not* showing it (as Reservoir Dogs can prove) and letting your head do the rest. Peckinpaw is different because he uses slow-motion during the "high action" sequences, but Tarantino messes with Time by normally telling his stories "Out of Order" (like in Reservoir Dogs) or by Chapters (which he starts doing after Kill Bill).
So glad you enjoyed this, loved your reaction!
Apparently I am one of the few people in the world who saw _Reservoir dogs_ before _Pulp fiction_ came out. The thing that arrested me about the movie is that the writer has no tenderness for the characters: Orange, who is - if anyone is - the hero, is bleeding out in the back of a car before we know what's happening; the citizen who shoots him is instantly killed by him; the cop who Orange saves by shooting Blonde is almost immediately shot and killed by Nice Guy Eddie. The plot is everything, and all the characters are sacrificed to it.
Hey, I’m another one of those people! Nice to meet you. Like me, you probably also remember the days before _Pulp Fiction,_ when mentioning Tarantino would mostly just result in receiving a blank or confused look.
"one of the few people in the world"
I saw it in theater. A lot of people did....just not a lot by mainstream standards....sold 650,000 tickets here in the US and did well on video as well.
It was also wildly popular in the UK on release....$13 million in box office (around 3 million tickets)....nearly 5 times the US box office.
Resovoir Dogs the soundtrack was one of my most listened to CD's in the 90's.
Same here, and I remember when I bought it, I was pleased as punch to discover that the Steven Wright radio DJ bits were included. He’s just so upbeat and expressive.
It's funny - I was sick as hell and at the time in the late 90's and my GF at the time rented this for me and had no idea. Took the day off of work in high tech.
I think it cured me it was so intense and diabolical! She is no longer but the movie was awesome!
Its crazy how fast she supposedly figured out the plot twist of The Usual Suspects but was SO slow with multiple plot points of this movie.
We all have our off days, and our hot ones.
I nailed the twist in The Sixth Sense about an hour in - for which i was rightly proud of myself - but a lot of movies just suck me in and blindside me.
Great description for Tarantino… madness that is cool and controlled. Best description of his writing and movies. He is great at given you the familiar…. Characters, plots, stories… and then making them all a bit off and not expected yet you feel like you know these people. Great reaction
Here's a quick list of all Tarantino's major films for reference:
1992 Reservoir Dogs
1994 True Romance (writer, not director)
1994 Pulp Fiction
1997 Jackie Brown
2003 Kill Bill: Volume 1
2004 Kill Bill: Volume 2
2007 Death Proof
2009 Inglourious Basterds
2012 Django Unchained
2015 The Hateful Eight
2019 Once Upon a Time in Hollywood
I've seen them all (except Death Proof) and they are all fantastic in their own ways
Death Proof is good, some really great stuntwork in it, but seeing that and Planet Terror together as a sort of homage to "grindhouse" B-grade cinema was the intention (fake movie trailers and all, some of which did get turned into actual movies later). Both are worth watching at least one time.
Don’t forget Natural Born Killer.
I would also include Desperado and From Dusk til Dawn.
Always exciting watching someone discovering Tarantino movies for the first time. Its such an incredible cinematic journey you are starting out on. Having watched all of them many times, I'm a little jealous for the trip your about to take.
Ps- its a straight razor that Mr. Blonde used on Officer Nash.
Also known in the UK as a Cut-throat Razor, you can still buy them, they give a great shave
Mr. Tarantino's "style" is, he drops you right into the middle of the action, and then goes back later to explain things. When you do "Pulp Fiction" you will see a similar scenario, but different, you know? The radio DJ who introduces "Stuck In The Middle With You" is Comedian Steven Wright. Steve Buscemi, Mr. Pink, is in a couple of great movies, "Pulp Fiction", along with Tim Roth, Mr. Orange, as a waiter, and "Fargo", where he is again a bad guy. Michael Madsen, Mr. Blonde, is in another Quentin Tarantino movie, actually two, "Kill Bill Parts 1 & 2". Chris Penn, Eddie, was in the Clint Eastwood movie "Pale Rider". And lastly, Harvey Keitel is in the classic "Taxi Driver" as a pimp named Sport.
The comment about how the actors did not play to the camera is some of the most insightful observations about movies that I have ever heard from a TH-camr or mainstream film critic.
So long since I saw this one, but I do remember that I loved it. The chill dialogue, the no-bars hold brutality, and the tension and everything. A really great movie.
Another great undercover movie is "Donnie Brasco" starring Johnny Depp and Al Pacino
Probably Depp's best actual acting role. And based on a true story.
This is one of the greats. Any movie that puts you in that much suspense and leaves you speechless-is a good one.
Dawn liked this film WAY more than I thought she would. But liking this film is the right thing to do because it is good.
For thirty-two years now I can't hear 'Stuck in the Middle With You' without also remembering the ear scene, definitely keep going into Quentin T's movies there are some really great films in there
Quintin has some of the best dialogue in his movies
For more Steve Buscemi magic you need to watch Fargo as well which is a all time classic movie!
Mr Blue was played by Eddie Bunker, he was a criminal who then turned his life around and became a crime writer. Quentin was a fan of his books and they partly inspired the film, in particular a book called Little Boy Blue, hence the name Mr. Blue.
"You're not deformed, your ear is right there, sew it on"......I love the Scottish!! Greetings from The States
The guy who played Mr. Blue (Eddie Bunker) is (was) a real criminal -- and spent many years in prison. He wrote a really EXCELLENT movie that you should DEFINITELY react to: Straight Time (1978), starring Dustin Hoffman as a low-life criminal.
"Chilled madness" hits the nail on the head, I think. Great reaction! Looking forward to more Tarantino with Marie!
Hey Dawn, Mr. Blonde is # 1 in my book. Mr. Pink is a close second. Mr White is 3rd and Mr. Orange is #4 favorite in the movie. -------- Just for his gumshoe to be an undercover beast. --------- Honorable mention to Mr. Purple.
The cafe at the beginning still looks nearly identical. It’s in LA - I went there last year. My coffee was only filled three times, but I still tipped.
I'd call that "chilled madness" you're describing "tension" and Tarantino is an absolute master of it, you'll definitely get to see a lot more of that! Glad you liked it and cant wait for your reactions on the other movies.
I didn't now I needed Dawn Marie vs Reservoir Dogs until it turned up in my feed.
Dawn, you are in for several treats! I am so jealous that you get to experience several QT movies for the first time.
Brilliant movie, saw it when it came out, havn''t been able to hear "stuck in the middle" without doing that dance since.. even my kid will do it, even in public.. which isn't bad for a shy kid with anxiety.
“He’s talking too much and no one’s asking” You mean they’re listening to his story? 😂
Chill madness is a good descriptor. For all of Tarantino’s movies in general, honestly. But also regular madness.
Blue had lines. Just in the diner and I think the plan meeting, but yeah, pretty much nothing else
White did shoot Orange, that’s why the cops shot him. I’d think they would just arrest him if he didn’t
This is a rabbit hole you'll love and we'll be able to enjoy you discovering them.
9:40 -- RE: *Is He From Free Willy?* ; A: *YES,* well done. Michael Madsen landed relatively few large film roles when he pursued his career in Hollywood. See also "Species" (1995). *But* lucky for him, Tarantino never forgets a good character actor, either, so he infrequently appears in other Tarantino films after 2005.
Harvey Keitel also got a lot of work with Tarantino after this film, but he was certainly a large part of why it was a success, and he was one of its producers.
When they are discussing Madonna...all I could think of was ...Sean Penn was her former brother-in-law.
Sean Penn was her former husband
Yeah...I should have said Chris Penn.
Steve Buscemi is brilliant.
If you listen before the end there is gunshots outside. Pink didn't make it.
I always smile when dawn loves the correct movies 😊
One of my favourite Tarantino movies, and a favourite overall. Brilliant writing, a stacked cast, and an amazing soundtrack. Also, it's very cool how easily it could be adapted into a stage play.
Cheers and Happy Weekend Dawn, from across The Pond.🥃☮❤
Reservoir Dogs is still my fave Quentin Tarantino film. When it came out at the cinema, there was a lot of fuss about it being banned to video, so it stayed at the cinema for over a year. I got hold of a good quality VHS video of it and went around lots of people's houses to watch it. I've seen it over two dozen times. The film feels like an old friend.
Loved this. Looking forward to more Tarantino
Me too!! 😁
Though I do really like a lot of others, for me this is the best Tarantino movie.
I bloody LOVED it!
The lady who shot Orange was his dialect coach because he has a hard English accent like u. He said later, he liked shooting her! Nice Guy was in rush hour 1, Early 80s movies Wild Life and Footloose and he's Sean Penn's brother!
You popped up on my TH-cam wall about 2 weeks ago and you've become my favorite movie reactor. I love you analysis and your overall energy. I'm old enough to be your dad but you are a beautiful young lady. Also, I didn't see one thing wrong with your ear. Tarantino's movies are all great in their own way. He also uses many of the same actors in his movies. I can't wait to see more. Thank you!
Scariest undercover movie I ever saw was Rush with Jason Patric and Jennifer Jason Leigh back in 1991.
Thanks for reacting to this Dawn, you’re awesome.😎
I love the commode story within the commode story, when the cop on Mr Orange's story is also telling his rehearsed story. And you can tell how bad he is at it.
You can’t be serious. I knew a guy just like that in real life. That performance is gold.
You can just barley hear Mr. Pink getting caught outside by the police as he left with the diamonds.
There's a couple of deleted scenes and in one of them you find out that Mr. White's real name is Lawrence Dimmick and he's *not* a good guy. He's old school, so there's an older fashioned sense of honor, but that doesn't make him a crook with a heart of gold.
Mr. Blue was the old guy with the cigar at the diner table who said he liked "Borderline" by Madonna. His real name was Eddie Bunker and he was a real criminal for decades before turning to writing and acting. He was a consultant on the film as well and he told Tarantino that he never worked a job with that many guys on a crew because it always led to trouble.
The shootout at the end is confusing because there was a squib malfunction. They didn't have time to reshoot it so people think Mr. Pink must have shot one of them but he didn't. They had to leave in the mistake.
Mr. Blonde's blade is called a "straight razor." And there was no Lee Marvin hate; they talked about how much they liked him.
Your accent soothes me like ASMR . Reminds me of my Grandmother who was from Lewis . You're a lovely person. Thank you for being here.
He also is associated with other movies, before he got big, or he did some writing for. True Romance is fantastic, then Death proof, desperado, dusk til Dawn, even a couple tv episodes of Alias!
"What happened between peacefully having their coffee & tea and talking about Madonna songs and one of them's about to die?"
Ah, therein lies the tale :)
Great reaction Miss Dawn!
Thanks for watching! 🥰
Excellent reaction. Maybe the most entertaining I’ve ever seen.
Just watching your reaction to how the scenes unfolded were so great.
Here’s QT’s directing filmography in order…
-Reservoir Dogs
-Pulp Fiction
-Jackie Brown
-Kill Bill volume 1
-Kill Bill volume 2
-Death Proof
-Inglorious Basterds
-Django Unchained
-The Hateful Eight
-Once Upon a Time in Hollywood
I’d love to see your reaction to each one👍🏼
The old guy, Mr Blue, was actually played by a former armed robber, which is why he doesn't appear much, because he wasn't allowed to carry even a prop gun.
Also when the cop says "I have a family" during the torture scene, that line wasn't scripted.
You can hear Mr Blonde saying "Oh no no no" off screen. That was Michael Madsen's reaction to the line, as he'd just become a dad and it was a bit too much for him.
Oh Dawn! They just keep getting better too!
Yay! Thank you for watching 🩷
Some other guy on some other job is Mr Purple, your Mr Pink. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Death Proof is definitely Tarantino's most underrated, it's such a damn fun time and a great homage to the 70s-80s Grindhouse films!
23:42 It makes sense that Mr. Orange was shot by a civilian since he was a cop himself (the other LA police members were told beforehand that he was undercover). I think it’s a good way to see how he was shot here after he was revealed to be a cop himself!
So excited for you! I hope you’re doing the entire Tarantinoverse in order. Don’t skip any!
Tarantino has style like no other. Don't miss True Romance and Jackie Brown, as they're two of the best, but much underrated. You ought to watch Natural Born Killers too. The cop in it is called Scagnetti - also mentioned in Reservoir Dogs. There are a lot of little details which cross over between Tarantino's films.
Seeing Harvey Keitel reminded me of a great, under-appreciated movie, "Crime Spree," a pretty dark comedy.
For a FANTASTIC underground cop movie, check out Donnie Brasco (1997) starring absolute giants like Al Pacino and Johnny Depp, and funnily enough Michael Madsen from this movie (playing Mr. Blonde). You'll love it. :)
When he was 17 Eddie Bunker (Mr. Blue) was the youngest person ever in San Quentin at the time. He went on to write a lot of crime fiction and screen plays after spending the beginning of his life in and out of prison, boys homes and work camps.
Tarantino got the money to make this after writing the script for True Romance, which should be your next one.
Here's his films in order (not all directed by him but written by):
Reservoir Dogs
True Romance
Pulp Fiction
Natural Born Killers
From Dusk Till Dawn
Jackie Brown
Kill Bill: Vol 1 & 2
Death Proof (plus Planet Terror as they go hand in hand)
Inglorious Basterds
Django Unchained
The Hateful Eight
Once Upon a Time in Hollywood
Wonderful review as usual. You may recognise Chris Penn from Pale Rider. Lawrence Tierney (Joe) often played a heavy in the old “Film Noir” films back in the 40s and 50s. The thing about him was, in real life, he really was a bad ass. Now the film you really need to see (co-written by Tarantino) called “True Romance” -1993
The first Tarantino masterpiece. Also, that was a good take on the feel. In most movies the characters are put in situations to create an outcome, where in Tarantino movies it is a situation unfolding and the viewer is allowed to drop in and watch how it unfolds.
It was Pink who shot Eddie and caused the chain reaction. When Pink climbs out from beneath the ramp he's holding his gun. He didn't have his gun out before. Plus no one was pointing at Eddie,but he has a bullet hole in his right side.
Ah, yes... this movie... I love reactions to this, pure shock after intro and the all the revealing later. You can see how Tarantino was revolutionary at the time, he doesn't tell the story, but in a way he does. And those dialogs, cracks me up to this day.
Yes. Watch them in order as they were made.
14:52 You'll never be able to hear "Stuck in the Middle with You" in the same way ever again.
Great outro!!! I couldn't agree more that it doesnt feel like a movie and really love the way you explained the cameras just being there to capture all the drama going on, Im paraphrasing.
Must watch movies based on your explanations of the types of movies you like:
True Romance
Pulp Fiction
...and I think Kill Bill I & II would he up your alley as well, but a little different than RD, TR, and PF IMO. However, it definitely has QT written all over it.
P.S. If you haven't seen "Memento", I think you would like it as well.
